Our family is dysfunctional, just like your family is, and every other family in the world. Since every family is made up of imperfect people then we are not going to find a perfect family, no matter how much they appear to resemble the Huxtable family.

7 Fun Physical Activities Involving Your Entire Family
We are 4 days into the #GETActive30 Day Challenge, and we are all off to a great start! Yet, it’s early so I know we will encounter challenges that will try to keep us from our daily activity.
